Cute Adult Rugby Shirt for $3.99 at The Children’s Place

Did you know that The Children’s Place also sells adult clothes? Well, a few pieces, anyway. These rugby shirts came out in sizes for the whole family. The idea was for matching outfits. Apparently, they sold more children’s than adults because the adult ones have been marked way down to only $3.99 from $24.50. My favorite one is the one that’s pictured here. It reminds me of Joseph’s coat of many colors! You can get a matching or contrasting scarf for another $1.99. They still have sizes left in children’s and adults, so for less than $8 you can be … Continue reading →

Bible Stories to Share with Your Children: Joseph’s Life

This is my final entry (of a total of six) over the life of Joseph. Joseph is the key figure in the final portion of the book of Genesis, and the Bible explains a lot about many details of his life. I have chosen to split Joseph’s life story into several blog entries because there is so much detail about Joseph’s life. Each portion of Joseph’s life is exciting and intriguing, and thus can hold the attention of children well. I think it is a good idea to share each portion of Joseph’s story separately with your children, but then … Continue reading →

Joseph’s life to the point of Genesis 41 has been anything but ideal. His brothers stripped him of his clothing, threw him into a pit, and then sold him to people passing through the land. These people then sold Joseph to a man named Potiphar. Potiphar’s wife wrongly accuses Joseph of trying to lie with her and Joseph is thrown into prison. While in prison God allows him to rightly interpret dreams of two of Pharaoh’s chief officers. Joseph only asks to be remembered when the interpretations come to pass; however, the chief cupbearer forgets Joseph and he remains in … Continue reading →

This blog is a continuation of the previous entry of Bible Stories to Share with Your Children. This portion of Joseph’s story can be found in Genesis 37:1-23. In Genesis 37:36 the Bible states that Joseph was sold by the Midianites “in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.” In Genesis 39:2-6 the Bible sets up the position which Joseph is placed in Potiphar’s house: “The LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. His master saw that the LORD was with him … Continue reading →

Bible Stories to Share with Your Children: Joseph Betrayed

Posted on by

In Genesis 29-31 the Bible speaks of Jacob, his wives Leah and Rachel (as well as their maidservants), and the births of his twelve sons. Jacob’s eleventh son (first born to him by Rachel) was Joseph. In Genesis 37:3 the Bible speaks of Jacob’s (renamed as Israel-Genesis 32:28) feelings toward Joseph: “Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors.” Interestingly, the next verse speaks of Jacob’s other sons reactions to this: “But when his brothers saw that their father … Continue reading →
